Towards that end, transition piece 55 includes an inner wall 64 that defines a guide cavity 72 that extends between combustion chamber 48 and turbine 10.
  • fuel is passed to injector assemblies 38 and 39 to mix with the air and form a combustible mixture.
  • the combustible mixture is channeled to combustion chamber 48 and ignited to form combustion gases.
  • the combustion gases are then channeled to turbine 10 where thermal energy from the combustion gases is converted to mechanical, rotational energy.
  • injection nozzle assembly 38 includes a centerbody 82 which houses a secondary air circuit 84, a secondary fuel circuit 85, and a transfer circuit 86.
  • Centerbody 82 includes a secondary mixing zone 89 in which fuel and air are mixed prior to being injected into combustion chamber 48.
  • injection nozzle assembly 38 includes a nozzle member 94 arranged within centerbody 82.
  • Nozzle member 94 houses secondary circuit 85 and transfer circuit 86 and includes a body 96 having a first end 98 that extends to a second end 99 through an intermediate portion 100.
  • Body 94 includes an outer surface 101 and an inner surface 102 that establishes a hollow interior 105. Hollow interior 105 defines a purge air passage 106 having a plurality of outlets 108 arranged at second end 99.
  • injection nozzle assembly 38 includes an inner conduit portion 120 arranged within hollow interior 105 of nozzle member 94.
  • Inner conduit portion 120 includes a body portion 124 having a first end portion 127 that extends to a second or tip end portion 128.
  • Tip end portion 128 is supported within a hub portion (not shown) of a swirler member (also not shown).

  • Tip end portion 124 includes a guide feature 130 which, as will be discussed more fully below, redirects fluid passing through injection nozzle assembly 38.
  • Body portion 124 is also shown to include an outer surface 131 and an inner surface 132.
  • Inner surface 132 defines, in part, a plenum 135 at first end portion 127.
  • Plenum 135 includes a plurality of outlet members, one of which is indicated at 136, which lead to secondary mixing zone 89. More specifically, outlet members 136 are fluidly connected to a plurality of fuel pegs 137.
  • Fuel pegs 137 are, in turn, fluidly connected to plenum 135 and extend between outer surface 101 of nozzle member 94 and an inner surface (not separately labeled) of centerbody 82.
  • Fuel pegs 137 include a number of exit ports 138 that open to secondary mixing zone 89. With this arrangement, fluid, typically fuel, passing into nozzle member 94 is directed outward to secondary mixing zone 89.
  • injection nozzle assembly 38 includes a cooling element 140 that passes within inner conduit portion 120.
  • Cooling element 140 includes a body element 144 having a first end section 147 that extends to a second end section 148 through an intermediate portion 149 having an outer surface 151 and an inner surface 152 that defines a cooling passage 153 having an outlet section 155.
  • Cooling element 140 includes an inlet 160 for receiving fluid, typically fuel, and a plurality of outlets 162. As will be discussed more fully below, outlets 162 guide fluid to plenum 135.
  • Outer surface 151 of cooling element 140 is spaced from inner surface 132 of inner conduit portion 120 by a plurality of supports, one of which is indicated at 168. Supports 168 establish a return channel 173 between cooling element 140 and inner conduit portion 120. Return channel 173 leads axially along injection nozzle assembly 38 from tip end portion 128 to plenum 135.
  • fluid enters inlet 160.
  • a first portion of the fluid passes through outlets 162 and directly to secondary mixing zone 89 via plenum 135 and fuel pegs 137.
  • a second portion of the fluid passes along cooling passage 153 toward tip end portion 128. The second portion of the fluid impinges upon guide feature 130 establishing impingement and convective cooling for tip portion 128.
  • Guide feature 130 also redirects the second portion of the fluid into return channel 173.
  • the second portion of the fluid passes through return channel 173 and into plenum 135.
  • the second portion of the fluid then joins the first portion of the fluid exiting through fuel pegs 137 into secondary mixing zone 89.
  • exemplary embodiments provide a fluid cooled injection nozzle assembly for a turbomachine that includes a cooling element configured to reduce temperatures at tip end portion 128.
  • the removal of the pilot circuit not only results in a significant cost savings, but also a substantial reduction in emissions. More specifically, the elimination of the pilot circuit leads to a substantial reduction in plumbing, control valves and other associated control functions, but also removes a fuel circuit that produces considerable levels of NOx emissions.
  • the pilot circuit is then replaced with a cooling element that maintains temperatures at the tip end portion at levels which lead to prolonged component life cycle.
